Hi,
I declared a variable to which I wanted to assign a negative value. When I assigned the value as "- 0.5", the value was treated as 0. This is because of the space between the negative sign and 0.
Example:
[blocks]<set{ negativehalf }to(- 0.5 [/blocks]
In places where numbers are used directly this is not a problem since the editor doesn't allow the insertion of a space after the negative sign. For variables though, where there's no type checking, this turns out to be a problem.
The fix would be to loosen the constraints for parsing numbers.
regards,

You're right, Scratch can't recognize spaces within numbers. This is because as soon as you add a space, Scratch thinks the variable is a string, and returns 0 in places where only numbers can be used.
For that reason, you'll have to use "-0.5" instead of "- 0.5". Sorry.
